Default Cleaning engine block after head gasket failure

Anybody have any suggestions on cleaning the inside of the block after a head gasket failure.

Ive got emulsified oil like everywhere inside the engine, its like mayoonaisse. I am worried that just leaving this garbage in there is going to cause some problems after I put everything back together.

Would an immediate engine flush be recommended after reassembly.?

Get a good engine degreaser and spray it in there then hose it out

Thanks! Sounds like the simplest way to do it with out tearing out the engine or oil pan.
